The Defence headquarters , Monday, disclosed that following the air and
ground assault to flush out Boko Haram terrorists from Baga, its cordon
and search operation has revealed some terrorists disguising as women.

Read the just released statement from Major General Chris Olukolade:

The cordon and search in Baga has revealed some terrorists disguising as
women. The searches are also yielding more discoveries of arms
especially bombs hidden in various locations, especially Baga town.

Apart from those captured in the course of fighting, many arrests of terrorists hiding in the town are being made and troops are still busy interrogating the suspects.

Meanwhile, in furtherance of the mission to clear terrorists from all
their enclaves by the military, the Nigerian Air Force has stepped up
its air bombardment of identified targets in Gwoza, Bama and Sambisa
forest, preparatory to other phases of the mission. The air strikes have
been highly successful as they achieved the aims, hitting vital targets
with required precision. Terrorists are now in disarray as they
scamper to escape from the impact of air bombardment of their locations
in the forest.

Having successfully liberated Baga where the terrorists have been
marauding, the troops’ attention has now been focused on consolidation
of the security of the area to pave way for return of citizens.
